From the observation tower on Oak Ridge, looking south down Doubleday Avenue. Initially, Paul's Brigade dressed behind Baxter's Brigade, Second Division, First Corps (which was on line roughly along Doubleday Avenue, extending north just past the Mummasburg Road). To the south, in the woods, was Cutler's Brigade from First Division, First Corps. Paul's Brigade had the 94th New York, 107th Pennsylvania, and 16th Maine on a line along the ridge facing west. The 104th New York and 13th Massachusetts were deployed running off the ridge line, in a refuse, facing north. The refused line was based generally where the Monument to General Robinson stands today. Later Paul's Brigade replaced Baxter's on line, as the later ran low on ammunition.
